Hello, and welcome!
Thank you for dropping by--we really do appreciate your
presence.
Living Life Fully™
is dedicated to
presenting the wisdom of the ages, especially the wisdom that's
specifically focused on getting the most out of life and being
happy. It's based on the belief that if we can learn from those who
have come before us and have shared their knowledge, our lives can be
richer, more exciting, and fuller. Take your time, visit a page or
two and find something
you like, then come back later for something else--there's definitely no
hurry, and no need to see it all at once.
The main thing, though, is to enjoy. If you'll be back, we'll see you soon.
If not,
please make yours an extraordinary life!

I accept life unconditionally.
Life holds
so much--
so much to be happy about always.
Most people ask for happiness
on condition.
Happiness can be felt only if you don't set conditions.

What does it mean to live a full life? How do we
stay happy and content in a world that often seems to be
throwing more at us than we can handle? Thirty years in
the making, Universal Principles
of Living Life Fully explores different aspects of our
selves as human beings, aspects that we are able to develop and
expand when we need to in order to make ourselves more
comfortable in the world we live in. It explores 57 different
elements of who we are, from love to mindfulness to adversity to
prayer, in an effort to help you to figure out just where to
focus your energy and attention when life is being difficult for
you. Use the link to the left for the Kindle edition, or click
here for the print edition.

Living
Life Fully is all about learning--learning about life, love,
relationships,
being human, helping, giving, hope, beauty,
and so much more;
learning
about despair and sorrow and
negative thoughts and arrogance and many
other things that
bring
us down. So many people have given so much to
the world
in the form of insights and
observations, and we want to share
those insights with you in the hope that they'll help
you
to learn to lead
a happy, healthy, fulfilling life on your own
unique, individual terms.

Perhaps the
rediscovery of our humanity, and the potential
of the human spirit which
we have read about in legends
of older civilizations, or in accounts of
solitary mystics, or in
tales of science fiction writers -- perhaps this
will constitute the
true revolution of the future. The new frontier
lies not beyond
the planets but within each one of us.

Let
us live, while we are alive!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe |
|
|
|
When
indeed shall we learn that we are all related one to the other, that we
are all members of
one body? Until the spirit of love for our fellow
people, regardless of race, color or creed, shall
fill the world,
making
real in our lives and our deeds that actuality of human brother and
sisterhood--until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the
sense of responsibility
for each other's welfare, social justice can never
be attained.
Helen

Few of us, indeed, realize the wonderful privilege
of living;
the blessings we inherit, the glories and the beauties
of
the
universe, which is our own if we choose to have it so;
the extent to which
we can make ourselves what we wish
to be;
or the power we possess of securing
peace,
of triumphing over pain and sorrow.

The
hardest thing to believe when you're young
is that people will
fight to stay in a rut,
but not to get out of one.

A
bag of apples, a pot of homemade jam, a scribbled note,
a bunch of golden flowers, a coloured pebble, a box of
seedlings,
an empty scent bottle for the children. . . .
Who needs diamonds and van-delivered bouquets?

Don't
hurry.
Don't worry.
You're only here
for a short visit,
so don't forget
to stop and
smell the flowers.
